A trans woman recorded a video at Disneyland using Minnie Mouse cake pops and chocolate-covered marshmallows to explain how her penis will soon be surgically transformed into a vagina.

In it, Lilly Contino of Atlanta, Georgia, explains how the procedure will be done, while avoiding using words that refer to the genitals.

Lily Contino’s video at Disneyland, using Minnie Mouse cake pops, sees her discussing her upcoming gender affirmation surgery without using explicit terms.

“Until recently, the plan was to turn my marshmallow wand into a marshmallow tunnel,” she explains, holding up another sweet treat that doubles as a penis and vagina.
“Unfortunately, a few weeks ago I noticed some hair regrowth on my marshmallow wand. “It’s bad, it’s bad because the outside of the wand is what becomes the inside of the tunnel, so you don’t want hair growing there, otherwise it’s very uncomfortable,” explains- she said.
“So I talked to my surgeon and he told me it would be better to postpone the procedure until the hair removal is finished,” continues Contino, 31, wearing plastic Minnie ears Mouse and dressed in a pink T-shirt with full of pride. rainbows on Disney characters.
“It’s obviously disappointing because I was really looking forward to having a marshmallow tunnel earlier,” she says.
“That being said, it’s still happening, but we just don’t know when it will happen. Hair removal is a fickle thing and it’s really hard to predict when it will end, but my hair removal tech thinks it will be before the end of the year.
